Creating doctrine objects in a separate namespace

Question

I follow the documentation here:

• http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/doctrine/reverse_engineering.html

These are teams

php app/console doctrine:mapping:convert xml ./src/Acme/BlogBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm --from-database --force php app/console doctrine:mapping:import AcmeBlogBundle annotation php app/console doctrine:generate:entities AcmeBlogBundle 

I see new objects here in

 Acme/BlogBundle/AcmeBlogBundle/Entity 

But I wanted to know how to add Entities to their own namespace like this.

 Acme/BlogBundle/AcmeBlogBundle/Entity/Foo Acme/BlogBundle/AcmeBlogBundle/Entity/Bar 

This means that I could separate entities for the Foo and Bar databases.

UPDATE:

Or it should be structured as follows:

 Acme/BlogBundle/AcmeBlogBundle/Foo/Entity Acme/BlogBundle/AcmeBlogBundle/Bar/Entity 

Thoughts?

If you look in the section “How to work with several managers and community connections” in the documentation, you will notice that you can bind your package objects to one or many object managers . Each of them is associated with a specific connection to the database.

If, for example, I defined two database connections (first_connection and second_connection), I can add two entity managers, as follows,

 entity_managers: first_manager: connection: first_connection mappings: MyBundle: dir: Path/To/EntityFolder/Foo/ second_manager: connection: second_connection mappings: MyBundle: dir: Path/To/EntityFolder/Bar/ 

You can then specify which correct Entity Manager to use during the first two steps of the entity creation process,

 php app/console doctrine:mapping:convert xml ./src/Acme/BlogBundle/Resources/config/doctrine/metadata/orm --from-database --force --em=first_manager --filter=MyTable 

Note. The --filter used so that you can create your objects individually.

 php app/console doctrine:mapping:import AcmeBlogBundle annotation --em=first_manager --filter=MyTable php app/console doctrine:generate:entities AcmeBlogBundle 

Then your entities are placed in the necessary folders in accordance with the connection to which they are attached.
